Safety test method e.g. for machine brakes, involves having a brake mechanism with a mechanical brake and examination takes place of braking action during switched on state

摘要

The method involves having a brake mechanism (8) with a mechanical brake and an examination takes place of the braking action during the switched on state. A measurement unit has limit values of a certain twist and or a certain stroke with a minimum strength over a given time period. The load of the driver against the brake mechanism is measurable and disconnected when the limit values are exceeded.
